You sound ungrateful

Yeah. My “dream” is to become a professional golfer. I have an engineering degree. I’ll give you one guess which one is now helping pay my bills.

Trick question. You're broke and homeless

If you're cut out for it, engineering is the profession most likely to become millionaires. It's the right balance of well paid, and forced to plan well to be successful.

OP is mad his parents would drop 20k to get him a full professional streaming setup and instead want him to go to school and get a real job. What shitty parents /s

u/rmphys Sep 14 '24

and are paying for the schooling! Imagine living such a good life that the only thing you can be "mad" about is your parents being smart enough and rich enough to set you up on third base so that and all you have to do is walk it in. Fuck I wish my life was this good.

Wait a minute....

20k? More like 0 to 200 if you're using $s.

u/iSheepTouch Sep 14 '24

You're going to buy a high end PC(s), chair, audio setup, peripherals, monitors, software, etc for $200? Are you buying this off a guy who said this stuff all fell off a truck or what? I said a professional setup, not some janky home setup using existing equipment.

u/TomaszA3 Sep 14 '24

What, are you opening a whole recording studio or something? Just get a microphone, webcam, greenscreen and that's it you're free to go.(each of them good quality, all in total costs like 200$) Everyone already has a pc(any pc can handle that easily, it'll just take longer), a chair, a monitor and software is completely free.(I'm not even talking about piracy, it's straight up free)

And all of that only if you want a pro setup. You can start off with pretty much anything and pay more later on once you're a little bit more successful.

Probably a Youtuber or TikToker.

u/TomaszA3 Sep 14 '24

I mean, what's wrong with that? As long as they have a good idea for what exactly they want to youtube about then it's all fine.

It also doesn't require all that much money. Pretty much everyone is ready as is to do youtube in at least 80% of niches.

Because content creation is not as easy as it seems and for every 1 success story there are millions who are not able to cut it.

Content creation is like a side quest while you are on your regular carrier path until you find a fork in road where it’s more viable than your current track.

u/TomaszA3 Sep 14 '24

It's exactly as easy as it seems though? Have you ever tried? You just need to work and learn a lot. Also what do you mean carrier? It's a kid we're talking about. Of course they won't have a career and will focus on school primarily.

u/Ordinary_dude_NOT Sep 14 '24 edited Sep 14 '24

You are not thinking like a father. I would like to steer my kid in path which is predictable, and with proper education will get him money with some guarantees.

If he is able to succeed regardless then I am all for it, but he has to first prove that it’s a viable path.

And yes I tried this with my kid, but it’s not that straightforward. It requires a lot of work for production.

u/TomaszA3 Sep 14 '24

The kid will have a successful career either way. Even I work in IT, and that tells a lot about how easy it is to get into a programming job.

There is nothing wrong with them spending like 2h/day learning production and everything else they NEED to learn to do youtube. If it fails, good, now they know how to react to failure, or how to pursue despite failure.

u/Technical_Disk6433 Sep 14 '24

Ok, make money on content creation. Do it now, report back to us in a month and then tell us it's easy

u/TomaszA3 Sep 14 '24

Things can take longer than 5 seconds and still be easy. It's gonna take time and you knew that before you started, stop being delusional. Go and deduce what you're doing wrong for a few months in a loop and now we can talk about earning.

Yeah the "well I'm not YOU, mom/ dad" kids, when they wanna blow someone else's money on something they haven't worked for at all, just because it sounds fun.

Engineering degree is probably loaded but knows the value of spoiling their brat.
